Brake rotor/pads

All 4 rotors and pads for 210 bucks? That is some cheap hardware.

Not sure on your driving style, but Hawk HPS is a great pad for street and light duty track. And then rotors, I would avoid anything cast in China. which puts you out of the cheap category.

But if you are just in town driving and not pushing the car, go for it.

I am sure they have 13" front package also. On fleabay these guys are back to back, page after another.

Keep us posted on the availability of 13"ers, from the ebay seller.

Puts you out of a lot of categories! Even the Baer two-piece have the rotor part cast in China.

I'm pretty sure the AC's are from there too now?

What's left for American made rotors? I know Wilwood and Coleman are (though not sure anyone sells a center section for Colemans for the rear).

Cheap and brakes should not be used in the same sentence. But then it's all a matter of how much you value your life and others'. $80 for a set of four rotors? How can they ship them from China for that ?

I have to agree with the get what you pay for and brakes is not something to go cheap on. This deal sounds like these that I jumped on a few years ago: Could not post the link from the "other" forum but it was $170 with free shipping for same deal



As soon as I can afford to I want to upgrade the brakes to the good stuff. It does not make sense for me to try to make the Z faster, but not make sure that I can stop. I tested these only to about 130 MPH and normal driving, not sure how they would react to emergency braking though and when I really need them.
